In her free time Kristin can be found outside: whether running, cycling, or skiing with her husband and (activity-permitting) with their pup.

For over two decades since he has pursued twin passions of design and front-end development, pairing creative expertise with technical knowledge to help educational institutions and companies craft elegant and accessible user experiences for both students and their instructors. When Phil is away from his keyboard he might be found snowboarding the Rockies, dancing to live music at Red Rocks, or collecting passport stamps abroad.

Adryan

Hey there! My name is Adryan and I am a Product Designer and multi-disciplinary creative based in London, UK. I have a passion for innovative technology, designing with purpose and inclusive design. My Product Design journey started at the beginning of the pandemic. I needed to upskill as I no longer wanted to work in the world of marketing. I decided to take a risk and enroll myself into a Visual Design course with General Assembly. This acted as a springboard for me to start working on a portfolio and take on some freelance deck design jobs. I then enrolled into a Product Design course with Love Circular! In my free time I do some work with digital illustration and animation.

Gus is based out of Denver Colorado and shares a home with his partner, Michelle, and their 2 Australian Cattle Dogs. In his off time, he enjoys music, art, motorcycles, cycling (road and mountain), traveling, reading, hiking, skate/snowboarding, dogs, life.

Karen

Karen loves tackling complex problems and turning them into useful solutions that help real people. Besides, she obsesses over both the arrows and the boxes and can often be found creating diagrams and flows that capture details at all levels of the user experience. When she is not at work, she enjoys something like baking, puzzles, and crafting.

Israel

Israel's design philosophy is all about making digital products that are so easy to use, you'll forget they're even there. But don't let that fool you, his designs are anything but boring. With a love for typography and a minimalist approach, Israel has honed his skills at small startups and big companies alike, he’s a team player that likes to create designs that are both functional and stylish. And that's what makes him a true design superhero (minus the spandex suit). He's always on a mission to push the limits of what's possible and bring the best user experience to whatever product he’s designing. It's a tall order, but he's up for the challenge. When he's not designing, you can find him trying to be a video game hero, exploring new lands (aka, traveling), and seeking inspiration from his favorite movies and anime characters. Oh, and did we mention he's a family man? Married to the best wife with two little sidekicks, he's originally from Brazil but now calls Israel home.

Bryttni

There's nothing more satisfying than making progress on something that's never been done before or is thought to be impossible.

Daniel loves travelling and scuba diving while on vacation. His Instagram algorithm knows him well and keeps feeding his obsession for bulldogs of all shapes and sizes.
